    I refuse to use paragraphs. Also I use ‘as if’ way way too often.

      The last few times I thought I was quietly stepping back onto a game a couple people seemed to immediately know, lol, so I must have one??? But I’d just be guessing as to what it is.

      Aside from being a complete goober OOC.

      Something like, Wizz spin Jumpscare!

      I don’t know who it is, but someone does that, and I see you, whoever you are. And I like what you’re spinning.

        Em dashes, “a beat,” describing small changes in body language, “I mean,” characters with tactical knowledge/background, characters with sports knowledge/background, and answering OOC questions on channels.

        Shit, I use this far too often in OOC talk, less IC.

          I’m double posting, because I noticed this as I was finishing a pose. I realize that my characters(not all depending)often grin so fucking much that I’m wondering if I’m just playing someone with behavioral problems.

            […] turgid […]

            I almost want to take this as a challenge to use turgid in a non-smut situation, but I am teh laze.

            My tells, uh… much as I want it to be amazing lewds because I have a brand… it’s probably fake pretendy words that sortaish make sense, to a degree.

            Endless run-on sentences and problematic punctuation; I use them more for the vibe than how they should actually work.

            If I decide to venture into purple prose, it comes across more like an SNL skit than actual writing, which… could be an improvement of other peoples’ purple prose?

              I still abuse ellipses. My tells are more OOC though, like spreadsheets and guides. I can’t help myself!

              Once someone asked if I was me because I was being helpful/nice and that was the coolest thing ever 😃

              Also ALLCAPS a lot. A LOT

                I know I have them (though there have been many times where apparently even people who know me well didn’t realize an alt was mine, that happened quite a few times with Edris, but I wonder if perhaps gender is involved there), but I don’t know what they are. I’m pretty sure most of my tells are OOC chatting.

                          I have no idea what my tells are and trying to figure them out makes me nauseous with embarrassment so I’ll just live with the mystery.

                                  The fact that many of you are listing things I would have considered my tells means they aren’t my tells, I suppose.

                                  I feel I’m pretty fucking obvious, though, but couldn’t pin down why.

                                  I can actually never tell it’s you. I’m always the last person to find out, and only when rude people snitch on you because they’re apparently better at @Selira-spotting than I am.

                                  I won’t tell my tells. Except that I’m also a compulsive questions channel answerer, and that it physically hurts me when I consciously force myself not to in hopes of flying under the radar somewhere.

                                    It was more that I was PRETTY SURE it was you, but I can never be 100% unless you tell me. So 99.5% sure in that particular case.
